i,m not an experienced welder but i,d suggest using a GAS mig, as most seem to find its easier to weld the chassis
.you,ll find most of the answers to questions about building a Roadster on this forum, i say most , but mean all, all the best andy

Never mind the welding, i hate it, i love milling stuff as i can control it! Welcome to an exclusive Club! I have been a little silent recently due to major changes in my life. Still in few weeks I will have a lovely lady living with me!
I started cutting up and profiling the box section six months before I even made the build table a long storey but...U have started and I hope your project makes you as happy as it has for most of us here. Nick

Welcome.
It's good fun, and a good forum with some very knowledgeable people. Get a GAS mig They are much nicer, you can see a decent weld pool!! And if at all possible, use the big bottles of gas. the tiny Machine Mart/Halfrauds gas bottles last about 6 minutes.As an aside, if you are also new to welding, check out http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/ There is a forum there as well, and they are, once again , friendly and knowledgeable. Good luck with the build Sean
